“In the garden?” The saint child looked around and said while staring at the saintess’ followers: “Indeed, it has to be one of them.”

“We didn’t do it!” Her followers were startled again.

“Who are you?” The monarch stared at Li Qiye and furrowed his brows.

“Junior Uncle, Young Noble Li saved my life twice back in Immortal’s Peak.” The saintess said.

“Since you claim that the arsonist is still here, who is it then?” The monarch asked.
As an ancestor of Alchemy Dao, he was rather capable yet still couldn’t see any clue.

“Sigh, you all claim to be successors of alchemy, what are Alchemy Dao’s most amazing aspects?” Li Qiye asked.

“It’s obviously our two legendary pills, nothing can compare to them.” The saint child responded.

“An ignorant answer.” To which Li Qiye responded.

“You!” The saint child glared at him.

“Tell us then, which pills in the six continents are better than ours?” The monarch’s expression soured as well.

“Your founder was in love with alchemy.
Her pill-making art is exceptional indeed but her greatest achievement in life is actually the dao of agriculture.” Li Qiye said: “Her pill refinement became more famous due to the wars.”

The monarch froze for a second before agreeing: “You are not wrong.
I have read this in our historical scrolls.”

“Because you all didn’t focus on her true legacy, you can’t find the cuplrit.” Li Qiye said.

“What does that have to do with the arsonist?” The saint child said.

“If you had inherited her abilities and teachings, the answer would have been obvious.” He said.

“That’s a bold claim, I’m still waiting for you to reveal the answer.” The saint child uttered coldly.

“You don’t think I know?” Li Qiye asked.

“Reveal the answer and prove us wrong.” The saint child said.

“It is right before us.” Li Qiye said while staring at the saint child.

“Are you saying that I did it?” The latter’s expression darkened.

“No, I’m only disappointed in a potential successor of Alchemy Dao for not spotting this.” Li Qiye shook his head.

The saint child was furious: “You have insulted my sect and me several times now.
Don’t think about leaving this place unscathed if you can’t find the culprit.”

“Oh? Is that a threat?” Li Qiye asked.

“Young Noble Li, what do you suggest we do to capture the culprit?” The monarch interrupted them.

“Very well, I will teach you the dao of alchemy today.” Li Qiye pointed at a plant in the center of the garden and ordered: “Dig it up.”

“What?!” Everyone couldn’t believe it because he was pointing at the largest and most precious plant in the garden.

It was a red cock’s comb looking like a soaring phoenix.

“We can’t! That’s Her Majesty’s phoenix crest!” One disciple shouted.

“The sect master needs it.
Is this a joke?” The monarch’s expression changed.

Jadecure Conqueror was planning on using it as one ingredient for her next cauldron.
The saintess herself came often to check on it.

Now, Li Qiye wanted to dig it up?
